Ohh okay okay. I understand what you are saying. I wanted to fix the
heredoc markers and indent the tests for better readibility but actually
I fixed the heredoc marker in [2/4]. Therefore, the change in [2/4]
should in fact be:

    -	test_i18ncmp actual - <<EOF
    +	test_i18ncmp - actual <<EOF

And in this patch [3/4], it should become:

    -	test_i18ncmp - actual <<EOF
    +	test_i18ncmp - actual <<-EOF

As well as the indentation fixes I did in the patch already. Now I
understand the exact use and significance of the heredoc. Thank you.
